US Army Star Wars Hoverbike?!

/in , /by

The US Army have tested a hover bike that could one day be used in combat…..but don’t get your hopes up for a Star Wars esque type land cruiser, this type of hover bike is designed to drop aid, equipment and supplies to troops and the needy in a war zone.

The US Army saw the campaign for this concept on Kickstarter and got in touch with UK based company Malloy Aeronautics and now they’re working together on this project to build a much bigger version of their original concept being dubbed the “Joint Tactical Aerial ReSupply Vehicle” It is planned to fly up to 125miles at 60mph with a load of 800lbs.

In a video on Mashable the hoverbike was nothing more than a small drone. However on Malloy Aeronautics website it has seen to be manned! What comes of this remains to be seen but this looks very exciting! See video below:

apple tv to rival netflix

Apple wages war on Netflix streaming service

/in , /by

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Apple Music service are planning to add original video content to their service to help gain more subscribers.

This has been rumoured for a long time. It seems that Apple is now starting to reach out to Hollywood producers and are planning to add original content by the end of this year. 

Apple are apparently trying to create some hard hitting original content like Westworld and Stranger Things.  There will be original movies potentially appearing later on down the line if the Tv Shows are a success.

There’s no news as to what type of shows that the big fruit seem to be planning due to how tight lipped they are with things usually.  This is kind of a surprise but kind of isn’t. Apple recently released a documentary. It was called 808: The Movie and narrated by Zane Lowe. So there were some signs! Apple acquired the rights to broadcast their own 30 minute series of James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. Also the company are planning a semi-autobiographical documentary series. One called ‘Vital Signs’ starring Dr Dre which is due out on Apple Music this year.

So this new venture see’s Apple’s first step outside of music related video content. How will they do?
